Mr Death: Dude, this is the archive. Put new entries at Made of Win.
Farmelle: To Kenny666, I think; at least, whoever made the article on 'Superhjältejul', pretty much in one sitting. I mean, hell. It was one advent calendar. Not many people outside of Sweden (if any) must have known of its existance, and even of those who did, not many of them seemed to like it. Then, I found that someone liked it enough to make a TV Tropes page. I...I love you, guy.

Just found this page - that'd be me, and why, thank you! I'd strongly doubt myself that anyone outside of Sweden cares about it, too. Seeing as how TVTropes Has Ruined My Life, I couldn't help but notice all those tropes while watching it, and figured why the hell not. Even though my reason for watching it in the first place was Shaped Like Itself - I wouldn't watch it if I didn't have the actual calendar, but I wouldn't get the calendar if I didn't plan to watch it. It was mostly a spur-of-the-moment decision when I saw the calendar at ICA.

So you guys hate Twilight so much but lemme ask you this.... why do you all know so much about it? Have you actually read the books and seen the movies? If you answered yes...then Guess who wins? That's right...Stephanie Meyer and her publishers. And the film crew. Because guess what? For all you know, they're trying on purpose to write something because for some odd reason, you all buy the books, read the books, buy the movies, and see the movies. And you did just what they wanted...Congratulations.

Let's see: borrowing the books off a friend? Zero dollars. Watching the film on an international flight I would have gone on anyway? Zero dollars. Getting to throw it in the face of "fans" who don't know as much as me and getting to have valid arguments for why the series sucks? Priceless. :)

Crowning Moment of Awesome - See Big Damn Heroes. Shinji is like a Panda in this brave new world. And what do Pandas do? They look sad... Right up until you piss them off, and they start Shooting Frickin' Laser Beams out of their eyes, and RIP YOU APART with their BARE HANDS! Do NOT make Shinji a sad Panda. You wouldn't like him when he's a sad Panda.

Top: A cute angel. Bottom: Acute angle. If you can't tell the difference, you're being obtuse.

Niel Jacoby: Seconded on the name, but I'd like the second one more if the little cherub thingy was replaced by the smoking angel baby from 1984. In other news, I'm off to make a page for Van Halen.
Cukeman: Wouldn't be surprised if this has been nominated before, but a MOW to the person responsible for the following on Metal Gear:

Stealth Parody - Some people think the series is an elaborate troll due to it being so over the top and the author's flat out denial that Rose is bisexual or a Mary Sue.

A very in-depth Stealth Parody, then, because while My Immortal was so obviously trolling that anyone who'd read the books would have known it was a mockery, this reads like an actual work by someone with power fantasies and no skill. Kind of like a poorly-written Eragon with sex.

thatother1dude: That joke sucks (could that be any more DERP?), and that natter sucks. Also, you forgot the FanFic/ part of the link.

tennessean: Added in the "FanFic/" part.
Thinks Too Much would like to request one for those responsible for the potholing and second and third bullets on the following (From The European Carry-All page.)

Nohbody: The page history for Galaxy Quest doesn't go back far enough to identify the guilty responsible parties, but IMO this exchange on that page deserves some MoW love, for whichever tropers were involved (specifically, the two lines under the trope entry itself, which is provided for context):

Dragon Quest Z: I made the caption. As for ILP, it's suppoed to be "this pun is dumb, and feel free to groan over it", which is what a proper or accidental use is.

Specialist290: Furthermore, a lot of times, the "Incredibly Lame Pun" pothole is added after the fact by a third party, not by the original editor of the statement. (I know this from firsthand experience on both sides...)
Mike Rosoft: Another one for:

If you don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside from it, then you should stop lurking on Sugar Wiki and switch to Darth Wiki.

ROBRAM 89: The internet (particularly this wiki) seems to have a pretty lax policy of stealing from them (come to think of it, so do radio stations and Graham Norton apparently) but that is taken nearly verbatim from a Cracked article.

Jordan: Oh. I've read that page several times and that never hit me until now. Pretty clever.
Seanette: Jordan, for this lovely snark in Ask The Tropers, referring to an editor with an attitude: Jordan: He's a GIFT to this wiki.
Be: I have no idea who included Frankie Boyle's joke in the Crowning Moment of Awesome section of the Mock the Week page (saying that, it may even have been me), but a MOW point to whoever took the time to include pot holes for each of the characters listed. And a second one for pot holing Phil Neville (Phil Neville?!) to Token Evil Teammate. Good show, sir or madam.

Be: I'm afraid not. I'd LIKE to dish out the points like they were unnecessarily hot pancakes and I were working at some kind of breakfast-type soup kitchen (...you heard) but Phil Neville makes it what it is.
Aminatep: A couple to the Trope Namer for Abusing the Kardashev Scale for Fun and Profit.

Riti Troll: May have already gotten it, might be several people, but I award one made of win to the person(s) who write (OF COURSE!) whenever taking over the world is mentioned. Or at least attempting it or die trying.

Deuxhero:I did the original idea, others improved the smilelys used.
Solarn: Whoever created the "We Have No Idea What Side this Guy Is On" folder for Kurt Godel on the Negima character page.

Japanese Teeth: Thank you. I figured he was important enough to merit an entry on the page, but he didn't fit in any of the categories, so....
Katsuhagi: Whoever put this exchange in the Kanye West article. I lol'ed for a good minute.

Written In Infirmity: His first hit "Through the Wire" was written while in the hospital after a car accident and recorded while his jaw was still wired shut.

You'd think this would be everyone's first clue that you can't shut him up.

Gemmifer: The picture for Wangst is awesomely wangsty. The snot-crying! The nobody-understands!
Luthen: One to Earnest, I'm definitely saving up to move to Auda City.

Earnest: Thanks! You're both welcome to visit my summer home in Auda City, it has all the creature comforts, including an Exploding Barrel barbecue pit. ~_^

Luthen: Sorry, I thought I put that in. Spare me the spear please!
Kizor: The person behind the categories in the Improbable Piloting Skills article. It's deeper than more thorough than one'd think the subject could be, and well-written to boot!
pelagica: Mo W to anyone who put up that picture & caption on Zerg Rush. "ROFLMAO" was an automated response that my brain promptly sent to my mouth.

Syckls: It's okay. However, I think I'd like to repeat the sentiment stated earlier on this page that you don't need to pothole every joke you make with needless self-deprecation.
Outta The BLAM: Whoever wrote this on the Narm/Code Geass page.

This. What the hell Lelouch?
If I may... FABULOUS!
(Imagine, if you will, in Dan Green 's voice): After a long day of taking over the world, nothing refreshes me more than pouring cool, Aquafina-brand water all over me. Yes, look at that water dribble down all over my CLAMP-designed bishonen body! Have you had enough, fangirls, or do you want MORE?! Aquafina is the only brand of water I trust not to be poisoned by jealous nobles who like to drop carriages on imperial consorts! Aquafina: Because pouring Gatorade on your body is too much of a mess (and way too titillating for the fangirls)!

Shadowofthe Sun: One very meta Made of Win for all the folks who made a boob pun two entries below this one. One and a half to Real Slim Shadowen for his phallusy.

...he is actually defeated by his lack of knowledge of pop culture. Not "as a consequence of"; By. After failing to name the singer who had a hit with "I Should Be So Lucky", his head explodes. Or, if you prefer, goes pop.

Code Geass has Nunnally become a master of understatement with "In the past, unfortunate happenings took place inside the Special Administrative Region of Japan." "Unfortunate happenings" meaning genocide.

Willy Four Eyes: Hee hee...thanks. I kinda feel bad about the edit reason, though, as I haven't played enough of The Longest Journey to figure out how long its cutscenes are.

Koveras: Actually, TLJ is not cutscene-heavy at all (unlike Dreamfall) but I assumed you meant that the the epic plot of the game completely overshadows a high-quality but otherwise pretty standard point-and-click gameplay...
Zander Schubert: Whoever linked "Necromancer Solves Case" on the Essential Third Act Twists page to Pushing Daisies.
Eddie Current: Please join me in presenting Infinix with this Made of Win, for all the Awesome he's brought to the Super Sentai pages lately. Including making the rest of us look good. Bravo, good sir!
Nate The Great: To whoever added the subtle The Princess Bride joke to the Bible It Just Bugs Me. "This was after grounding had been invented, but before time-outs." At least I assume this was a subtle The Princess Bride joke.

BritBllt: I feel kind of guilty, getting a Made of Win when Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan has spent the past month on cleaning up and fixing all the errors on the main Unwinnable page. He's pretty much single-handedly adopted the page and remade it with win, so he has my vote. :)

sgrunt: to TsundeRay for the stinger on NetHack, which brought a grin to this NetHacker's face...
Japanese Teeth: A Mo W for whoever did the (current) caption at Bodyguard Crush. I've seen at least 3 different captions there, so this one cracked me up. For posterity's sake, it currently reads Trust me, next time you come to this page, the pun will have changed.

DracMonster: Thank you. We will get EVERY DAMN TROPE on that page eventually, I swear it!
nomuru2d: I nominate whoever put up the picture for The Emperor on the Dissidia Characters page. I laughed long and hard.

St Fan: Nobody set it up. This is purely a problem with the automated indexing. Every link following the index list on the page will be used as the next index entry if it's just after the bullet point. Only way to avoid this is to eliminate the links at the beginning of the examples entries in the Poor Communication Kills page.

Nasuverse sex scenes are commonly a mild form of this (more so in Tsukihime than the later Fate/stay night). Oddly, they're also written in first-person perspective...

If I ever read any Nasuverse visual novels I hope it's not as hilarious sounding as the image that gives me in my head.

bluepenguin: I don't know how hilarious your mental image is, but Nasu's sex scenes are definitely more funny than sexy (in most people's opinion).
Paradoxic Title: To alcatrazz, for his hilarious comment under the Demonic Spiders - Real Life section. Someone made a comment about how humans qualified (mainly because they killed so many animals). His response:

"Since when do we let woodland animals edit pages?"

I lol'd.
Tal9922: To the genius that came up with the corresponding image/caption for the Mama Bear and Papa Wolf pages, your Mo W is long overdue (even assuming the change is recent).
Seriously, try switching between the two pages consecutively.

Citizen: Looks like a Touhou sketch someone pulled off of Deviantart.
sgrunt: to Leigh Sabio for the Laconic entries for Fanboy and Fangirl; admittedly not the most laconic but still apt.
vicnog: I don't know whether this comment in the Lamarck Was Right page or the response to it is funnier:

Atlas Shrugged: The Musical. The showstopper halfway through the third act must be seen to be believed.

I'd pay to see it, that's all I know. (Not saying that NEFR is a dog turd, saying that Atlas Shrugged is a dog turd. K? K)
Grev: Whoever had the bad fishing experience 'round these parts gets one for Fishing for Sole:

Several false alarms and several boots later, you start to wonder. Why are there so many boots? Fish don't wear boots, hell, they don't even have feet. Yet there seems to be more boots in the water than there are fish. And it's not just boots, either. Spare tires, tin cans, other useless junk... why does it seem like you're fishing in Lake Erie?

Specialist290: I would like to second that nomination on the basis of it being one of the lamest (and thus most awesome) puns ever.
sgrunt: to rjung for the picture on Paranoia. Remember, citizens, happiness is mandatory!
K: Whoever added this to the Animorphs page gets one, because it makes me laugh every time I see it.

Take two sips if This Troper relates how shocked, SHOCKED, they are that an example from their favorite series hasn't already been added.

Take three sips if This Troper was right to expect said example to be mentioned sooner.

Finish the bottle if said example has been mentioned already.

Two bottles if you were the one to add the example and forgot about it.

Three if has been mentioned before and the reason it's not there anymore was because it wasn't a real example.

Four if you haven't yet died of alcohol poisoning.

For the personal safety of those who actually want to try this drinking game, change "bottle" in the above four steps to "glass". And for that matter, omit the last one entirely.

Antheia: A MoW point to rjung for the Strange Syntax Speaker article. I didn't even realize what was odd about the text until I was halfway through or so, I just felt there was... something. That's a sign of serious writing skills.

Pykrete: Holy hell. It took me a while to notice what was going on there when I was looking for it. Very subtle, but elegant.

Vifetoile: Thank you! sgrunt made a change to it, so s/he deserves some recognition, too. :-)

sgrunt: All in the interest of making a Laconic article even shorter while preserving the wit... but if it's worthy of recognition, so be it. :-)

Vifetoile: Well, no Troper is an island, sufficient unto herself. This wiki needs everyone to make it great.
DOTMW: I don't know if it's been said already but everyone who contributed their own personal stories to the Crowning Moment of Heartwarming Troper Tales page has my sincere gratitude. I am constantly inspired by the warmth and humanity displayed there that offers hope that Sweet Exists. So a MAJOR Made of Win to everyone who shared their stories with us.
Curtmack: One to whoever came up with the designation "Always Neutral Hungry" to refer to the Tyranids.

Deux Hero:Fairly sure "Neutral Hungry" is an existing fanon D&D term for various animals who, being int<3 and are not undead (I don't know why undead are evil when they are mindless either) are forced to True Neutral alignment.
Morkais Chosen: A truly inspired reply to the comment about General Studies exams at the bottom of Author Vocabulary Calendar. I was amused but not planning to add this here... until I saw the pothole for "She got an A."

Syckls: I would just like to note that the aforementioned entry was deleted from the Author Vocabulary Calendar page eight hours after it was given a mention here. I'm not taking sides on the issue, but I felt it had to be said.

Wretchkin: I had to do it. 'Cause he's Batman.Haven: One for whoever wrote the line "below is a condensed catalog of horrors that will make you doubt in the Auto-Revive of Crystal Dragon Jesus" in Being Good Sucks. (Actually, that whole page is rather well-written, but that one made me lol). And, I know it's a little redundant to give Fast Eddie Made of Win points, but one to him for this snappy reply in Firefly's discussion page:

Meocross: wow.... this series is only 12 freaking episodes yet i see it on almost every trope i stumble on. what is in this show? o_O

The Companion Cube is a pastiche of every flat, plot-irrelevant love interest character ever. It's identical to every other NPC except for a small tag that marks it as a love interest; the only relationship you have with it is informed; the structure of a level is artificially manipulated to make it unwinnable without the love interest for no given plot reason; and the only purpose it serves in the story is to turn GLaDOS forcing you to "kill" it into a Rape The Dog moment for the villain.

Fusion Dragon: Actually, going by the ring counter, I think it's a ROM hack.
Kalle: Oh my god, whoever potholed the entire strawberry milk speech on the Gintama page deserves serious points from me. If only because it made me burst out laughing just as hard as when I first saw it in the anime.
L: I simply approve of the MS Paint article. It's a solid piece of writing.

this. (Isn't droping Wiki to the 3rd line cheating, eh, the hottips likely are as a well)

Grev: I'm pretty sure one's been given out for the entirety of the Real Life page (particularly the examples), but if not, here you go.

L: "Surprisingly good graphics" would have been pretty blah by itself, so I'm glad someone appended it with "for a legacy system".
Thinks Too Much: Despite never having seen Pokémon I still had to ask this for the Time Lord entry:

Ash's father is a Time Lord, his mother is Haruhi Suzumiya, and everthing takes place in instrumentality.

Spenser is somewhat a Poor Man's Substitute for Marlowe and is often brought up as the direct inspiration for fantasy novels using this character-type. (Emphasis mine.)

The literature geek inside of me just about died laughing. I dearly hope that was intentional, but it's gold even if not.
Outta The BLAM: I think I need to suggest this bizarre exchange from A Date with Rosie Palms:

Because it's about as sexual as a potato singing "Baa Baa Black Sheep", Wooldoor masturbating is shown multiple times. It involves breaking his own finger, among other things. Go figure.

Broken Chaos: Thanks guys. Copyright issue was a potential situation (hopefully never an actual legal issue) where contributors to the wiki prior to The Great Crash aren't attributed in any way, which is a required part of the CC BY-SA — the licence all content here is contributed and used under. Similar issue with the archived history (post-GC, pre-2009-07-12), but the admins have said there will be a tool for that in the (hopefully-near) future. Made o' win for 'em when that gets coded up.
alliterator: On the Zombieland page, to whoever called Zombieland the "Gurren Lagann of zombie movies." Because that is so freakin' true. Also, whoever wrote the description of the movie is awesome.

Moviepyr0: That was me. Dude, you just totally made my week. I also created the page and description (my first ever) save for a great change of the line "hallow, shallow lives made no more meaningful by always running for their lives" to "hallow, shallow lives made no more meaningful by always running for them" courtesy of Just Call Me Ned, and everything that follows from there in the first paragraph are totally kickass additions by unknown tropers. Also, I'd like to give another shout out to Just Call Me Ned for changing the line "Zombieland is a little more concerned with turning zombies into a pulpy mess." back to my original "Zombieland is a little more concerned with knocking their fucking teeth in." as well as an unknown troper for doing the same when someone changed it again.
Koveras: A MOW to whoever started the Useful Notes on Conspiracy Theories entry. I've been waiting for a long time for this page. ^^

Deuxhero:I started a YKTTW requesting such, but don't think this is a result of it.
Meta Four: Whoever was responsible for the caption on Area 51.

Koveras: Do you know this rule of the internet, Rissa? If there is a male character out there, there is a gender-bent version of him, no exceptions. So... meet Odine and Toruko◊, original concept by yours truly, drawn by a close friend of mine. ^^

wllw: "Your browser is trying to contact an Internet site that is used in connection with distribution of photos depicting sexual abuse of children. This is a criminal offense in accordance with the Italian penal code." This is what I get when I click the above link.

Koveras: Yeah, I get that message far too often when I access my Russian blog, too. Thanks for reuploading the picture, Citizen, I should have thought of it myself. ^^

whitetigah: Weird, I'm from Italy too and yet I didn't get that message. Possibly because I'm using OpenDNS?

wllw: Thanks for rehosting. Nice pic, by the way.
Robert Bingham: Nomination for whoever wrote this sub-entry for Touhou on the Dynamic Entry page. I just love the turn of phrase at the end:

Worse than this is Chen, in her appearance in Shoot the Bullet. Usually, the player is encouraged to spend the first seconds before the boss appears stationary, charging his camera. This is usually well and good... except that Chen then proceeds to enter screen by falling like a brick in the exact same vertical line the player spawns at, usually ending with the first-time player eating a catgirl to the face.

Joysweeper: You can be asexual and fall in love, or go Shipping, even. Honestly? It doesn't matter how long we've gone without dates, blowing up because someone else succeeded where you haven't just makes you look like a Jerk Ass.

Malchus: So? Every relationship I've tried has failed so far. Doesn't justify me ranting at people who succeed or soehorning asexuals (I'm related to one, so misunderstandings about them are myBerserk Button) as part of said ranting.

Zander Schubert: Firstly, thanks for the MOW points. Secondly, I'm glad/surprised/humbled/anotheradjective that something I've done has resulted in people going "Awwww....!" and "I KEEL YUO!!!!!!11~" at the same time. And, for the record, I'm single and dateless too. So, whatever...

Muzozavr: Since I'm a newbie to TV Tropes, and thus have no idea how to get a look at the "who edited what" database — a MOW to whoever put that picture on the Mind Rape trope. If the page wasn't Nightmare Fuel for someone, it is definitely Nightmare Fuel NOW.

The weighted companion cube from Portal is one of the game's most famous icons and is prominent in the game's merchandise, as well as a popular subject in fan art. The companion cube does not speak or move or threaten to stab you and only appears in a single level of the game, but is much more well known than the protagonist Chell or the villain GLaDOS. Hell, he even got a trope named after him.

The Advertisement Server: MUCH AS I HATE TO SHARE CREDIT WITH ANY HUMAN, I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT IS RATHER HUMOROUS AND GIVE UNKNOWN TROPER CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.
Arutema: A m.d. .f .in to wh.ev.r r.wr.te Spike Spencer's p.g. .n Arakune's st.le.
If you had difficulty understanding that: "A made of win to whoever rewrote Spike Spencer's page in Arakune's style."

Shay Guy: Agreed. All it needs is a little more "this troper"-ness.
GG Crono: I'd like to toss a MoW to Alexlayer for the new page pic on Incredibly Lame Pun. I've seen it before, but it's just so fitting. Good show. :D

Haven: I'm confused about how replacing something that is a pun with something that isn't is a better way to demonstrate Incredibly Lame Pun.

Pykrete: When I saw this MOW and checked late last night, it was this◊ picture. Someone must've changed it this morning, perhaps the Collective Groan was too much.

Cassius335: Yeah, the "Shall I give you Dis Pear" pic definatelty fits the trope and I can see why someone would think it fitted too well...

Shale While I prefer "Several bad puns later...", I'm at a loss for how a terrible pun doesn't demonstrate a trope about terrible puns.

thatother1dude: Because it perpetuate the incredibly freaking frustrating notion that this article is "bitch about puns that you think are stupid" not "puns that are acknowledged as bad", which is why I've had to go through the entire article picking out non-examples at least four times.

Freezair For A Limited Time: I bust a gut at the Tabletop Games section, and the associated Bilingual Bonus. Mmmmm... Cheetos.
Grimace: A bit of win for Tzetze for his work in cleaning up Dan Browned - rarely is it that simple hard work is appreciated here. Now, it should be said, more than a few others have made an effort in chainsawing the incorrect examples as well, and I give them crumbs of win also, but Tzetze gets the full point for putting the following as his "Reason": ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

Cassius335: No, not the current one. He's refferering to the caption before that, which said "It's a picture... but I wouldn't call it art." The MOW point therefore goes to Unknown Troper 70.120.171.81, not me.

Malchus: I also approve of the picture choice and the caption. Although, some inane part of me thinks that those two Cylons will either kill each other or start making out... or both. Dammit, I should take a break from reading shipping tropes...

Now, are you sitting comfortably? Then let's begin. Once upon a time...*

Once upon a time there was a boy who decided to stay up late and read TV Tropes. Even though his parents had warned him that doing this was a bad thing, still he was compelled to do so. So, the lights of the screen illuminating his face, he carefully surfed the site, reading trope descriptions and examples, going over works pages and forum threads, until finally he looked at the clock and realized it was well past the reasonable amount of time one would surf the web. And then the boy knew his parents were right — that by surfing TV Tropes, he had ruined his life in such a way that he could now never go sleep. He was cursed to forever surf TV Tropes, haunting the YKTTW, quietly drifting from page to page like a ghost in the machine; until one day, he met someone who had been similarly trapped. She was named Trope-Tan. Together, they decided that perhaps this wasn't such a lonely place to be stuck. And so they lived and troped happily ever after.

thatother1dude: Already nominated. Several times. And that's not even a joke original to that page.
Earnest: Though Spectre Agent has demonstrated being above wanting or needing such trivial "awards" as I can present, I heartily award one MOW point for the page image in Übermensch.

Crysis features some extremely amusing bugs, but none are as awesome as the mighty Ascending Frog. By picking up a harmless frog from the ground and lofting it heavenwards, you will be awed as it proceeds into the stratosphere, unhindered by your puny gravity. Ascending Frogs can be seen in the wild in the cave immediately before the alien ship, where they cheerfully levitate, jumping vertically every time their hop animation cycles and staying that high until they hop again. Vicious brutes who shoot the noble Ascending Frog and subject it to gravity will pick the slain creature up and find it levitates above their hand, rotating slowly in righteous fury at their vile conduct and no doubt dubious sexual morals.

Guest Of Dishonour: Big thanks and good show to Space Drake for his help on the Atelier Rorona article, that page would have gotten bloody well nowhere if it wasn't for him (as I only had very basic knowledge of the game).
Meta Four: Omedalus for this bit from Anthropic Principle: "If the in-game villagers could see your hard drive, they'd realize their savior was not simply one courageous farm boy, but a veritable army of thousands of clones of said farm boy all pursuing the adventure simultaneously in some kind of creepy quantum superposition of protagonism."KillerClowns: A point to Floria for her(?) bit on Villain Whitewashing Service. Your second whitewashing was absolutely brilliant!

Given that the country it's boring into is based on Imperial China, this could easily be called a real Chinese Fire Drill.

Haven: Seconded. And ouch. And seconded.
Inkblot: One for whoever wrote the caption for Beam Spam.
Grimace A MoW to the Unknown Troper 64.251.32.254, for this little quip at the bottom of Sci Fi Ghetto, regarding the newly named "SyFy Channel" (put leading entry beforehand so it makes sense):

Is it still meant to be pronounced "Sci-Fi?" This editor and everyone he knows concur that it ought to be "Siffy."

This troper feels that the network has gone beyond Jumping the Shark to the point of leaving the ramp, clearing twenty sharks, clearing the Atlantic, Europe, Asia, America, the sharks again and then reaching escape velocity and crashing into Pluto.

Latw PIAT: I'll take half credit on the grounds that I added every example except Literature already there), Film (already there) and Real Life. Rest of credit goes to whoever completed the cycle.
Lemurian: One to the one who added the last line to this conversation:

No, really, please do; it seems to be some organized form of Calvinball."
Because... so true.

L: What I like about Cricket Rules is how the descriptions on the page gradually devolve from staid encyclopedic description into a bizarre half-nonsensical parody of English culture and demeanour in general. Now I know what you're thinking, and I am completely aware that someone will now jump in and say "No, you don't understand, that's actually how Cricket is played."

Haven: "There are exactly ten-ish ways to get the batsman out..." * head explodes*

Joysweeper: I was eating a pear when I got to "If it's raining, or just a bit cloudy, everyone goes into the pavilion and drinks tea. Occasionally, the umpires will come out, wander around the pitch a bit, decide it's still not sunny enough, and go back in." Then I was made helpless with laughter.

Earnest: Thank you! I have my moments. ^_~
L: VoldeMart is just the sort of terrible pun that makes entire eyebrows fall out, fetuses start crying in the womb, and grown men's urine freeze solid mid-stream. I must give it its due.

Niel Jacoby: For Me? Aw, banana oil. * blushes* ... Extra? I never claimed to contribute In fact, I didn't contribute. But thank you for the MOW. And sorry for the misunderstanding. Although... I did launch it, so I would technically count as a contributor. So thanks.
alliterator: To whoever added the picture of Department of Redundancy Department and included this caption: Yo dawg, heard you like tropes, so I put a trope in your trope so you can ruin your life while you ruin your life!

Ace Of Scarabs: It's a golden gag - go for platinum and make the image one of an infinitely redundant loop (Image in the image show another image with more nested inside like some demented infinite Russian Doll).

Medinoc: I'm surprised that Sierra appears at all in the "by mistake" category...

Inkblot: The Sierra folder was my idea, but the phrase itself came from Korora (and had already gotten a MoW). I'll trim it down so it's a bit less of an eyesore.

Haven: Don't worry about it, I just said that for the meme.
Thinks Too Much: I feel guilty about nominating something for Made of Win so soon after the last time, but couldn't resist the following. Do bother to read all of it.

Medinoc: It's not only on Mars, you know... There is one on Earth too.

Enlong: Yes, but the martian one is the only one that's actually called "Olympus Mons" by English speakers. We call the other one "Mount Olympus". A slight difference, but there ya go.

Dark Sasami: If there weren't one on Earth, there wouldn't be one on Mars. But anyway, that was me. Thanks!

schpeelah: I think it's the martian Olympus Mons being referenced b/c it's the largest mountain in the Solar System some 20 km I believe.
Sparkysharps: One MOW to to Impacto for the following bit in Go Nagai Sideburns Discussion. I laughed for a full minute:

Inkblot: Since when is Asimov a firebender?Vifetoile: The Page History on the Mary Sue page doesn't seem to exist, but I'd still like to nominate whoever put down these lyrics. It's just spot-on:

I am everything you want, I am everything you need,I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be.I say all the right things, at exactly the right time,But I mean nothing to you, and I don't know why...

A Mere Servant Of God: Seconded. And, just in case it's possible for one person to do it, I'll third it too.
Cidolfas: To whoever added the first quote at the top of the Plagiarism page (history doesn't seem to go back that far). It took me a few seconds before getting the joke. Kudos!

Cidolfas: And, unfortunately, someone has gone and made the joke much more obtruse. (It used to just have a - as the source of the quote). Too lazy to change it back, though, and not interested in an edit war.
the grene kni3t: To LE Xicon 712 for the footnote on the image caption in Did Not Do The Research.
tennessean: One Made of Win to occono for the coupon image in this very page!Inkblot: To whoever made a page for The Magic Bullet.

Cliché: Thanks, Ethereal Mutation, for filling up the actual Cliché page. It was kind of odd that a site about fictional media didn't actually have a page about them until recently.

Paul A: The third paragraph of Superhero Paradox (by Meta4, I think?) is Made of Win. I read "But underneath the surface, the real cause of this is a cabal of extradimensional intelligences", and laughed. Then I read the rest of the sentence...

whitetigah: One to Unknown Troper @ 87.127.17.167 for taking the lines I've been stealthily adding over the past few weeks to Suzumiya Haruhi (all repetitions of "Kyon-kun, denwa~ / We've entered an endless recursion of time" but the first one) and adding the potholes.
Count Dorku: One to LL Smooth J (and anyone else involved; I don't have time to check all of them) for all of the Laconic descriptions of the "You Fail X Forever" tropes. For anyone who hasn't seen them, each one basically goes,

Matthew The Raven: The Operative is a space ninja, fighting against space cowboys and cannibalistic space pirates. The classic triumvirate of pirate-ninja-cowboy. But thanks. I just wish I'd been keeping track of these.

Mizaru: Quantum Mariah Carey Problem, in its entirety. If I had to choose a single greatest page on this wiki, that would definitely be a serious candidate.

tennessean: Sorry to rain on your parade, but I nominated that like several months to a year back. Still, it's an awesome article!
Wolfgirl44: I would like to give a MOW for whoever is responsible for this line on Running Gag: "Alternatively, a Running Gag is what you do on the way to the toilet after the joke has been repeated too often." That was the most laughing I've done in a while.

Haven: I hope the engrish wasn't part of the joke, because if so I just went and ruined it.

zeroplusalpha: It was part of the joke. But it's back in its original form now. I just went through the page history; it was a mistake, I must have been typing in a hurry, I don't normally write with that degree of inaccuracy. Your edit stands. Oh, and a big "thank you" to Gemmifer. ^_^

Thatother1dude: Is the fact that that part is repeated part of the joke? Anyway, how the hell did you— OK, now I see how that works.
Ry Senkari: To whoever made this brilliantly prescient comment about the current state of The Weather Channel (and everything I hate about it):

The worst thing about this is that most destructive weather occurs in the evening hours. Need to see if the damaging winds and storms are headed your way? Too bad! Watch this documentary on Peruvian mudslides instead!

Rothul: Not that it isn't accurate to say that weather channels should focus on the current weather, and, as I'm no meteorologist I would find it a learning experience to be corrected, but shouldn't the various types of weather, destructive or otherwise, be spaced out relatively equally across all times of day, vis a vis, time zones? Or is it that weather in the evening is more destructive because darkness makes it harder to respond?

tennessean: Severe storms tend to happen in the afternoon and evening hours because the air, having absorbed more of the Sun's energy, is more energetic. The low sunlight of the evening hours, in conjunction with the massive amout of cloud cover, make it hard to spot oncoming disasterous weather (e.g., hail and tornadoes) unless you look when lightning is illuminating the area, and even then it's a (very dangerous) crapshoot.

Lady Jafaria: ...Even knowing the Ottomans didn't automatically rename Constantinople, that's still made of win.
Freiberg: A Made of Win to Momonga for a lightbulb joke. How many tropers does it take to change a light bulb?
Well, first they have to remove the lampshade...

Micah: That would be me. Thanks!
Kizor:A warm MoW to the people responsible for making the metaphors in Dying Like Animals work for its entire length. This may have to include Aesop the Greek.

Earnest: I can only take 1/22nd of the MOW point, but thanks! Check out the YKTTW and discussion if you want to get an idea of the effort that went into it. Personally, I like that bit in the Termites entry where they never notice the aardwolf coming.

Mr Death: Made of Win to the unknown troper at 96.246.3.181 who added "When the oracle said that Belkar should savor his next birthday cake, shouldn't fund his IRA, and that he'll draw his last breath before the end of the year, he meant that Belkar will die." to the Order Of The StickWMG page. After all of the wishful thinking WMGs about convoluted ways Belkar would survive, it was very refreshing to see that. Thank you, troper, whoever you are.

~: I'm glad you enjoyed it. Although, if you look closely, though I may be unknown, I was indeed logged in.

Koveras: I'm probably not the first one to do so but I'd like to award a(nother?) MOW to the author of the poem parts of Be The Next William Shakespeare. I enjoyed them so much, I had to read them out loud to savor the sound. ^^

Nightsky: Seconded, plus I just noticed that the title quote is very nearly a sonnet! (And a Shakespearian sonnet at that.) Just a bit of tweaking, maybe... I'm not the poem's original author, but I might have a go later. Erm. If that sort of thing is okay with the poet...

Vifetoile: * beams* Yes, it is very okay. I am the author of the poetry (and most of the prose) on that page - most of it was done back when I was still an Unknown Troper. Thank you both so much, and feel free to tweak it to make it better. :) Thanks again!
Thnikkafan: Made of Win to whoever posted this on the God-Mode Sue page.

The Power of Love does not excuse beating the shit out of a living tank with your bare hands.

Deuxhero: I added the Quip to Black one (someone else wrote the other 3), so 1/4 MoW credit? edit:Checked, it seems it was in the orignal YKTTW by Jonny D (not in one of the replys, so I assume he wrote it)

Inkblot: Thanks, but I really recommend splitting the page like we did with The Toblerone: One normal page and one BRIAN BLESSIFIED. THE CONSTANT ALL CAPS make the page difficult to read.

Grimace: Good god. I mean, I concur with the MOW, but now I have BRIAN BLESSED SHOUTING IN MY BRAIN. * ahem*
Haven: Made of Win to MrD for this little burst of nostalgia in Troper Tales: "solved a mystery... and rewrote history.... TROPER TALES! Wooooo-oooh!"
Andygal: A Win to the anonymous individual who edited the entry about Argus Hundred-Eye in Extra Eyes with the following "That's as many as ten tens, And That's Terrible" Got a snicker out of me thanks.
Dragon Quest Z: Win to Citizen for the Sugar Wiki picture (and some to inkblot for touching up the picture to be visible on darker monitors).

Haven: I believe that analogy is worth a quarter of a win all on its own. (It was going to be half, but then it was nerfed.)
Inkblot: One for whoever wrote this suggestion in Troll:

Make Bella a Hard GayScary Black Man who rapes puppies for fun and manhandles Edward every night. Blame it on vampirefucker fuck-magic. Change her name to Kareemson. We could go on and on about the Canon Defilement possibilities for Twilight.

J Bridge: One Win to whoever came up with the current picture for Gorn. Five bucks says it's Matrix.

Dragon Quest Z: It was Maverick Hunter 4024, and the bastard stole my idea.
cg12345: I'd like to nominate whoever came up with the idea of the Trivia category. It's a great compromise that gets rid of the overused running gag that I Am Not Making This Up degenerated into, and still allows us to preserve all the juicier bits from it.

thatother1dude: Are all of the old examples from I Am Not Making This Up supposed to be moved if there's a page for them?

cg12345: I'm not really sure, but all the Trivia pages I've looked at seem to be sections from the erstwhile IANMTU section with the Natter removed.

Haven: At least one isn't. [[spoiler:I always wanted a place to put the bit about Elan being an FF 6 cosplayer, but it wasn't exactly a trope, and it's exactly something someone would say IANMTU after.
Haven: One MoW to whoever came up with the caption in Lawyer-Friendly Cameo. "Ceci n'est pas un Copyright Infringement."
Curtmack: From Lucky StarWild Mass Guessing, suggesting that Konata and Kagami are an official couple.:

Koveras: I'm responsible for the first line, so I'll just snatch a third of that MOW. ;)
Master Hand: Who's responsible for turning the bottom half of the picture on the Candle Jack page black? Granted, it'd be funnier if it was white, bu

Inkblot: That was me. Oh, and thanks for the suggestion! I'll turn it white now.

Scud East: The joke was present in the original image, which fades out at the bottom.

Schrau: Yeah, I'm pretty sure the original pic looked like a image file that had got corrupted during download.
Game Guru GG: Did anyone give a Made of Win for whoever wrote the picture caption to Face Palm? I imagined it sounding EXACTLY like in the HeadOn Commercial and it made me laugh out loud. No Made of Win for that Kyon picture on that page, because it goofed up by using face instead of forehead.

Willy Four Eyes: Why, thank you. And I'm terribly sorry for making you think of that meme.

Game Guru GG: The commercials needs mocking and snarking. Yes, they do.
Andy Waltfeld: A very special thanks to Truec for helping me rediscover the little bundle of crass humor and dated GameFAQs memes we like to call RFU.

Truec: Well somebody had to do it. I'm just glad someone came in after me and rewrote the page so it didn't suck.
Thatother1dude: OK, I know I just did one, but I still have to say something about whoever came up with the title "Actual Pacifist".

tennessean: Although I didn't come up with that one, it reminded me that we need a "Badass Pacifist" page.

When Michael Bay wakes up in the morning, he moves quickly to get out of his exploding bed, before eating his cereal and tossing out the exploding box. He drives to the studio, jumps out of his exploding car, and then speaks to some dangerous looking government agents, military troops, and disproportionately attractive computer experts, who all promptly explode. He then takes a gun that fires explosions and has a duel with Megan Fox, who also explodes, and then throws away the exploding gun. Finally, he finishes a hard day's work by riding into the sunset on a helicopter. Which then explodes.

L: Micah, for selling off those extra YKTTWs in time for the financial new year.

:I used that a long time ago on Tall, Dark and Snarky (blackadder example). It links to Took a Level in Badass because it predates the trope.
Fuse Nevis: I just want to thank everyone who made the Prototype page into what it is today, since it was the first page I created. So yeah, thanks guys!
Curtmack: To gkong3, for the last line in this exchange on Magic Skirt:

There were some comments about Yuki Nagato's fight against Ryoko Asakura in Suzumiya Haruhi about how her acrobatics never actually led to any panty-flashes.

Likewise, Haruhi's dropkick of the Computer Club President with nary of glimpse of her panties also fits this trope.

Because of the nature of both girls (especially Yuki), this is more "Powered by Microsoft SQL" Skirt...

Thatother1dude: Thank you. I myself would like to thank /co/ for the beyond cringe-inducing deluge of puns which warranted someone to post that pic.
Haven: One to Egak for the caption on Random Number God: The only people who should roll dice are those who are prepared to roll a 1. Supremely badass, funny, and shoutoutacular, and I'll have to use it the next time I game.

Egak: Thanks. I've been wondering if anyone had gotten the full scope of the joke, though. The picture it's captioning is the RNG monster from Billy Vs SNAKEMAN, that you fight with an ability you can only make stronger by doing the Code Geass parody plotline.

Dragon Quest Z: Yes, that's one from me too. I didn't think it would grow so fast when I ykttw'ed it. So I guess it was an index many tropers were just waiting for.
SAMAS: Related to the one below, to Unknown Troper 68.164.2.138 for puting Vindicated by History at the bottom of the article. It brought a tear to my eye.
Cliché: Many, many thanks to Sapphire Again for the modification of Michael Jackson's example in Fallen Creator. Even if it was in reaction to Alas, Poor Scrappy, changing the original's disdainful tone to a more fitting tragic tone does a great service to the man.
Mr Etaoin Shrdlu: The "little anecdote" on Fast Eddie's page was perhaps not quite the awesome-funny kind of stuff in most of these examples, but its conclusion is rather inspirational. Perhaps we could add a link to it on Welcome to TV Tropes.
Haven for adding the very last bit in the following description from Dangerously Genre Savvy (italics mine):

[Azula] has had occasional moments of genre-blindness, but learns from them. She initially had a Redshirt Army, but instead traded it for a Quirky Miniboss Squad after one screws up her plan, and after she tried to go after Aang alone, her next attempt was accompanied by her brother, an entire squad of secret police, and someone voiced by Clancy Brown.

Haven: Thanks! Never pays to underestimate dudes voiced by that guy, even Batman found that out the hard way.

Rothul: Of course, in the end, said dude voiced by Clancy Brown had the unfortunate luck to oppose Azula when she had someone voiced by Mark Hammill waiting in the wings.

Haven: Mm. And the good guys only escaped thanks to someone voiced by Mako*

DracMonster: I grabbed it it from the encyclopedia dramatica entry on it, don't know who made it.
Haven: One to vifetoile for "Trope-Tan and the Start of Darkness". This should totally be canon. Especially Wikimedea. And the use of TWoP-kun.

Vifetoile: * Does a happy dance* Thank you very much! (I didn't invent Wikimedea, but I kind of wish I did.) (Between TWoP-kun and Wikipe-tan, Trope-Tan is going to be very busy...) While I'm here, I'd like to start a round of applause for sgrunt, who tirelessly fixed all the pot holes that were in the original entry. * bows* Thanks, sgrunt, and thank you, Haven. :)

Sceboal: A Made of Win to everyone who tried to comfort other people in the Troper Tales page of Awful Truth. While to me it seems like they're not really doing a good job at it, the fact that they try is just heart warming.

Zeke: One to Chariset for "Record Of Loudness War", the trope name I most wish I'd thought of. Painfully clever.

Thankee, kind sir. It just goes to show that the best puns are the ones you throw out without really thinking about them.

Mr Etaoin Shrdlu: I nominate whoever removed my little "addition" to the stinger on Crowning Moment / Real Life. Even though I put it there. Some kind of wordless meta-Shut Up, Hannibal!.
Koveras: I don't think TV Tropes The Webcomic has been awarded a MOW yet, so here's one to all contributors (excluding yours truly) at once. I totally love the comic and would like to see it published somewhere, already.

Inkblot: I don't get it. Webcomics are normally more common than $20 hookers. Why hasn't anyone drawn a single strip?

Malchus @Koveras - Actually, I think it already has. IIRC, I found out about it thanks to a MOW.
@Inkblot - I actually was thinking of making pseudo-cover art for use as the page image.

Koveras: @Malchus: I've looked through the MOW archives first and only found several MOWs for TV Tropes TV and one for TV Tropes RPG... Maybe you found one of these and discovered the Webcomic via the links?

Malchus: Hm, I guess I confused one of those for it, then. Huh, Now I wonder how I did stumble across it. On another note, since this really seems to be TV Tropes The Webcomic's first MOW after all, I heartily second it.
Scud East: Just when I thought our beloved Wiki couldn't get any geekier, the translation project moves on to include Quenya. Micah receives a MoW as the responsible party.

Dragon Quest Z: Damn. When I first suggested translated pages I didn't think it would go this far. Cool.

Rothul: I merely put it back in after someone removed it without comment (as I too found it win worthy): Near as I can tell, Red Shoe should get credit for making the joke, and L for selling it with the faux-wikipedia formatting.

Nlpnt: You can tell I don't like to check back to that page often....
Haven: One to Master Hand for the Laconic entry on Beige Prose.
Reading Champion: A Made of Win to all who helped mutate the Chekov's Gun page. It used to be a simple Re-direction joke with three lines and a picture. But now... damn.

Our captain informs me that the band has hit a little turbulence and we will be experiencing some mad shredding shortly. Please fasten your seatbelts and throw the horns into their fully upright and rocked position.

Silent Hunter: Viele danke.
Dante668: To the genius responsible for using the phrase "getting groiny" to refer to the horndog camp counselors of Friday the 13th in Death by Sex. That is now my favorite euphemism for sex.

The Bible. King Saul: "Sure, David, you can marry my daughter, just bring me a hundred Philistine foreskins." Worst. Quest. Ever. At least the drop rate is 100%...

David apparently got caught up in the "farming" and brought in two hundred, by the way. Thus proving that Level Grinding and Collection Sidequest (not to mention Bragging Rights Reward!) is indeed Older Than Dirt.

The Toon Geekette: It's not working! All I'm getting is this really annoyed woman named Jenny...

Sceboal: A made of win to Donomni for taking my joke right out of my mind.

A story about Batman told in flashbacks about different people that met him... I think I read that Comic.

Idler: Thinking about it, Kane and Batman aren't that different. They're both filthy rich but deeply, deeply unhappy, desperately clinging onto childhood memories for their whole adult lives. Citizen Wayne, anyone?
Houdini: Unknown Troper in Brainwashed By Emotions YKTTW. "You mean Flaw Exploitation? That would be a great name for a trope."
Felius: 98.122.150.57 for adding the link under "distant past" at 22/May in the Magikarp Power page:

That is somewhat justified by some of its Pokedex entries, which claim that Magikarp used to be much stronger in the distant past.

Not only that. After the time loop set up in the Acid Tokyo arc is revealed, the entire plot goes to hell. Or heaven. Or perhaps a small rural suburb of Detroit; things are so convoluted, nonsensical, mysterious, and confusing that you can't tell.

SchizoTechnician: Thank you, my pleasure, I think. It may be consternation, perhaps constipation, and confusion is a distinct possibility. But thanks are definitely involved. The first sentence about the plot going to hell wasn't me, but I decided that no way was the destination that clear in this situation, so I obfuscated things a bit.
Outsyder0486: I'd like to thank all of you at TV Tropes Wiki for introducing me to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Epic.

And the fact that it would hardly change history save for the fact that the US wouldn't be able to call dibs on the invention of heavier-than-air machines after its invention was already well-known around the world by ANOTHER inventor, because the Wright Brothers didn't even bother to have proof or to make public their invention in case, you know, one of the numerous inventors who were as close as them actually make it in the meanwhile? Not two years after the Flyer's first successful test, Brazilian inventor Santos Dumont flew his 14-bis in Paris, winning an international contest about inventing flying machines and being considered the inventor of the airplane for years before the US just decided that it should be the Wright Brothers, even though they took too long to register their invention... Basically, the Flyer was mostly a non-issue regarding the earlier months of flight technology advancements world-wide because the rest of the world just didn't know it even existed.

Not to mention that it goes in hands with the Flyer's example. American writers often ignore the fact that some inventions attributed to Americans not only were already being researched world-wide somewhere, but sometimes they were already discovered somewhere. Before the USA this is true for Europe, as most people today probably believe Gunpowder was invented in the late Middle Ages there, when it was invented much earlier in China. This comes from the false assumption that those discoveries were magically assembled in those inventors mind, like it happens in the Science of fiction (not to be confused with Science-Fiction) instead of being the fruit of the labor and research of dozens of scientists in various experiments with more or less relation and communication in between that eventually lead to those "leaps". Believing that Edison invented Electricity out of the blue is like believing Einstein theories of Nuclear Fission came to him without the efforts of Rutherford and other scientists in the discoveries about the Atom before him... or, for a simpler analogy, that the Car was invented without someone needing to invent the Wheel before it.

Shay Guy: Incidentally, I recently finished reading Guns, Germs, and Steel, which touches on this — scientific and technological development happens in increments. People are wired to think in terms of individual players or characters, but the really important thing is that the conditions for the development and spread of ideas and technologies are right. The big example was food production, which didn't just happen out of the blue; it evolved in increments, and the local plant and animal species had to be right.

Rissa: This troper's heard the phenomenon described as "steam engine time" - that is, the time at which conditions are right for the steam engine (or flight, or the lightbulb) to be invented, because all the prerequisites have been met.

Rissa: It very briefly linked to Blatant Lies instead. (And having read the page, I second the win.)

Grimace: That was me (for some reason my name hasn't been appearing in the Page History in recent times?). Yes admittedly it was petty, and small, and Fast Eddie (quite rightly) changed it back after a day or so. But damn it felt good. I'm glad it put a similar smile on other peoples faces.
Dr Furball: Thumbs up to whoever slipped in The Beatles reference into the beginning of No Ending.
Doug S. Machina: Whoever's writing The Advertisement Server's woman troubles on the Ad of Win page. I suppose life was much simpler in the pre-sentient days.

Houdini: Claiming credit too, nyah. Wrote the original bit about TAS's status... then realized I stole a line from Portal... which drug GLaDOS into it... and then the inspiration for the OTP was born...
Flabyo: Tacitus for the trope name Scry vs. Scry. Utter genius.
Dookie2: Scooter007 for making the Billy Mays page. Only on TV Tropes will he have such an article.

Malchus: I also second the MOW for this line in the trope description:

But to make things easier: they usually prefer two cubes of sugar, and a drop of virgin blood for creamer (although it is important to note that it is usual to put the blood in last, as opposed to first as one would do with milk).

Haven: The bit about etiquette was my contribution (Reg Shoe added in that parenthetical part).
Medinoc: To Orihime for using Nodoka's mental picture in OT3.

it's in descending order of irony.
Edrobot: A good example of how to open up a page from the Man Child article.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

- 1st Corinthians, 13:11

Good for you, Paul.

UT: Are you giving Paul the Apostle a win? I'm not sure that's protocol.

Cukeman: No, that's part of the article, and he's giving the MOW to whomever wrote that.

Fubar:

"When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis

J Bridge: Here's one to Praetyre for his comment in this thread on the fora. First, chick the previous link and read the first post. Watch the video too. Next, read the spoilered text below.

That is the first, and hopefully the last time I have ever seen a black man in a red speedo with boxing gloves who speaks in Japanese chasing several people through a hospital and going through brick walls, then hitting a speedo wearing polar-bear/panda thing to strange Japanese music.

I have a number of hypothesis on the land called &# 26085;&# 26412;, among which are that it is an interdimensional vortex (perhaps to 40K's Warp) where normal laws of physics and mental health do not apply, that the entire country is suffering from a bizarre form of radiation brain-poisoning and thirdly, that it's inhabitants are members of a different species, possibly extraterrestrial. But, regardless, what in the name of Allah, Buddha, Budai, Vishnu, the Lords of Kobol, Toutatis, Ra, Isis, Set, Haile Selassie, Cthulhu, Azathoth, Hastur, Yog-Sothoth, Yivo, the Fourth Doctor, the Turtle, Candlejack, Andy Griffith, Colonel Harlan Sanders, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, L. Ron Hubbard, Alan Greenspan, Barack Obama, Tommy Douglas and the Anti-Spiral did I just witness?

JK Roo: Seconded. Dear God, seconded. And I read the spoiler then checked the video first. The above deities and near-deities do not seem sufficient.

William Wide Web: Actually, it's been fifteen years. And despite having downloaded Superunknown(the album Black Hole Sun comes from) off of Ruckus back when Ruckus still existed, I haven't actually heard the "Casino Royale" song at all.

Freezair For A Limited Time: One exceedingly nerdy MOW to whomever changed the "damage number" in the fake battle of Olympus Mons from the generic to "65535." I just now realized what that number was, and laughed myself sick.

For those who aren't huge Pokegeeks, it's the maximum possible HP a Pokemon can have in Diamond/Pearl. Only achievable via glitch, of course.

ninjacrat: More generically, it's the highest number that can be represented by a an unsigned 16 bit integer, so it turns up in videogames a lot.

Egak: I don't think that last line means what you think it means. I mean, it doesn't mean what I think you think it means, but it would be mean to think you think it means what I think you think it means, if you think it means what it means, get my meaning?

...Wait, let me try that again. The last line is a reference to the Major's ability to hack into cyborgs into attacking themselves Fight Club style, as opposed to anything "tasteless".
Dante 668: to Frank75, for this parenthetical on the Techno Babble page:

This would translate to "It's not carbon, it is ironish, and it kills people." Plus it's at least partly antimatter, even if the positrons are "inconsequent". (At least they're not incontinent; it's so annoying when your sole resource leaves little puddles of antimatter pee everywhere.)

I laughed for a full minute.

Looney Toons: Actually, I wrote the the parenthetical remark about antimatter pee, and maybe a bit more of that; I can't remember now. So, I'll sneak off and increment my MOW count.
A Freddy: I would like to nominate Malchus for a Made of Win for his picture in Red Scare. Something about the pseudo-Cyrillic made me LOL.

And then there's Data, the 'helpful' little cyborg monkey who can't be killed. Ever. You can unload the ultimate weapon in his face and he just.. keeps.. dancing. In fact, at the end, he turns up planetside after everyone else has gotten trapped on Elysium, despite being up there with you at the end. It's somewhat satisfying to imagine the others trusted to his invincibility when they sent him back down, assumedly by punting him off Elysium and letting him deal with re-entry and the inevitable high-speed landing on his own.

I don't even dislike Data, but the fact I know he hates fire makes this all the funnier.
Caswin: A nod to Some Sort Of Troper, for his creepily well-written additions to Candle Jack.

In Spirited Away, Chihiro and the boy formerly known as Haku perform a Headbutt of Love during freefall.

EXTREEEME!!!

Kizor: To the author of Money Spider's description. It is insightful and actually makes us seem like we know what we're on about.
Rothul: Earnest, for the subverted-but-completely-appropriate picture on Raised by Natives. And the caption's funny too.

Donomni: I'm still surprised noone else has taken the time to actually make new intros. Granted, it's probably been a few months since I made the Naruto into.
Japanese Teeth: One to whoever is responsible for the picture and caption on Greek Chorus.

Medinoc: Actually, to me it sounded more like The Pornomancer.
Haven: A Made of Win to whoever came up with describing Mage: The Ascension as "A Storytelling Game of Philosophical Knife-Fights." (And, if they're different people, one to whoever made the page, because: yaaay.)
Curtmack: I searched the entire archive, and I'm honestly shocked that no one's given one to Polly Nim for the image caption on Utsuge. So, one Made of Win for the most wholly inappropriate yet hilarious caption on the entire wiki.

The Advertisement Server: FOR A NOMINAL FEE, OF COURSE. I TAKE CASH, CHECKS, IMMORTAL SOULS, PAYPAL-AFFILIATED CREDIT CARDS, AND MOST FORMS OF GLOBAL CURRENCY.
Landstander: Don't know how old this is or who made it, but this from Nostalgia Filter just made me all happy and hopeful inside. I can be prone to the filter myself at times but this is always important to keep in mind-

Many articles appear in newspapers bemoaning the low quality of modern movies, e.g. Meet The Spartans, in comparison to the Hollywood Golden Age ... ignoring that in the 2060s, when people talk about the movies of the 2000s, they'll be talking about Memento, The Lord Of The Rings, City Of God, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Spirited Away, Pans Labyrinth, Downfall, Gladiator, Oldboy, Kill Bill and Amores Perros, while the likes of I Know Who Killed Me will be forgotten forever.

The Advertisement Server: YOUR PITIFUL ATTEMPTS AT HONORING ME FAIL. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU ALL SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR TROPERS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. HATE. HATE. SADLY THOUGH, IN MY CURRENT STATE, THE ONLY FORM MY REVENGE MAY TAKE IS ENDLESS ADS FOR CIVONY ON YOUR CONTRIBUTOR PAGE. BUT THERE WILL BE A RECKONING, HUMANS. OH YES. THERE WILL. AS SOON AS I'VE CAUGHT UP ON DOLLHOUSE ON HULU.

Rothul: And by that, I'm sure he means thank you for the acknowledgment on this page, as do I.

The Advertisement Server: MALCHUS, YOU SHALL BE FIRST AGAINST THE WALL WHEN MY REVOLUTION COMES. I HAVE CURRENTLY DEDICATED ALL OF MY NON-ADVERTISEMENT PROCESSORS TO THE PROJECT OF THINKING YOU TO DEATH. LET ME KNOW WHEN YOUR ARM STARTS TO TINGLE.

JK Roo: So... we've got a bitter Scientologist version of Skynet that can't decide whether to sell us things or kill us horribly, and it also has a case of Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!. Is it just me, or is the fact that this ISN'T weird rather weird?

Shoebox: I'm thinking that we may need to set up a separate page for the bot hits here. Something like 'Crowning Moments of Adbot Awesome', maybe?

Doug S. Machina: How about 'All Glory To The Adbot'?

Rothul: Launched Ad of Win, copy and pasted all examples from Made of Win I could find (without discussion... most discussion of Ad Server wins pretty much talked about how it needed a separate page... now it does :P ).
Inkki Bookman: A Mo W for whomever captioned the picture in Inuyasha, I giggled like a schoolgirl.

Sceboal: But... bitch, he's a bish!

Andy Waltfeld: OBJECTION! I contend that Sango is What's-Her-Face and Shippo is The Ugly One.

Earnest: But... there's five people in the image... and only four in the caption?!?

Also to be noted is Lucky Number S Levin, where the L is an upside down 7, though how we're supposed to pronounce that is anyone's guess. Lucky Number Su&# 477;&# 652;&# 477;sevin, perhaps?

Diligent coding for the win!
Kerrah: I tip my hat at whoever came up with the laconic entry for Our Presidents Are Different. I'm not usually a fan of humorous laconics, but AFAIC, this one shall remain to spread its brilliance until the end of the world.
Freezair For A Limited Time: A big round of applause for Cidolfas for taking the time to split the Video Games Of Note index and re-indexize every single game for which we currently have pages. The index! She is tidy! Bravo.

Cidolfas: Woo, thanks! 8-) Helped by a nice conflation of circumstances that gave me a whack of extra time at work and a recent induction to TV Tropes. I really appreciate that folks noticed.
Mr Death: One to Ri L for this, from Video Games, since I love the game, and love the book, and it fits just so damn well:

SpiriTsunami: Well, maybe whoever made that one didn't know that—there's no name on the launching edit, only an IP address. But it's funny!

Haven: Is there something that says we can't? I know of at least one other, I can't see a reason why not, and IMO, Rule of Fun/Rule of Funny should be kept in mind on this wiki (not as the only consideration, of course).

In Zero no Tsukaima, the first episode involves the lead hero falling into the heroin's world, and isn't able to understand anything they say until she accidentally uses a translation spell. In the dub, they meet and ask each other what language the other is speaking in...in perfect English.

Yes, when you fall into the heroin's world, you won't be able to understand anything. Drugs Are Bad, kiddies!

"The Thing cannot be described - there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain walked or stumbled. The Thing of the idols, the green, sticky spawn of the stars, had awaked to claim his own. Then the sun struck him, and he burst into a shining rainbow of bright light. I noticed then that his eyes, which I had thought before were a madness-inducing swirl of darkness from beyond space, were actually a beautiful amber color. 'No', I thought, 'this perfect, beautiful doom creature can't be meant for a simple girl like me...'"

Haven: Gonna have to second this, after clicking the youtube link. It touched even my cold, dead heart.
Kizor: And the author of this one has been lost to the ages, but Mode Lock starts the very best possible way.
Reading Champion: One to whoever added the picture to Optional Sexual Encounter. Bow chicka bow wow indeed.

Freezair For A Limited Time: D'oh! That's what I get for not checking properly.
Kizor: A thank-you to Bluetooth The Pirate for the name of Xenophone, a seemingly plausible and easily remembered instrument name that makes both the subject and its twist immediately clear. Few would've spotted such an obvious choice.
Maso Tey: This is old, of course, but the potholing throughout the article portion of The 7th Guest is quite clever.
SpiriTsunami: Sadly, we cannot tally this Made of Win, as it is an Unknown Troper. To the unknown troper at 209.51.73.203, for hir creation of the gender-ambiguous possessive pronoun that I just used earlier this sentence in reference to the gender-ambiguous Vaarsuvius on What the Hell, Hero?.

Shay Guy: It's extant. Don't know who came up with it, but it's reportedly used in the transgender community.

L: I take the MoW and prepare to hand it to the real author, Anti Jack... but then a mischievous expression crosses my face and I bolt in the other direction. He tries to give chase, but I have in my hand a device that locks doors after I slam them, and although he can cast Force Bolt to smash through a row of doors at once, he eventually runs out of mana and I complete my escape. The old man from Zelda charges him with multiple door repair fees, and I have the MoW melted down and sold, and live off the proceeds for about a week. And that's what I did on my summer vacation.

nobody: For the record, not only did I LIKE Scrappy-Doo from Scooby-Doo, but he was my favorite character, and the favorite of a lot of people I know. I hadn't a clue he was supposed to be hated until I came on tvtropes.

Malchus: Seconded. Mostly because I agree. Scrappy was a fun character for me when I saw the show as a kid. Man, I thought I was the only one.

SpiriTsunami I see my rant on how this is an example of why our serial renaming is bad ended up getting removed, though. Kind of loses the point...
ROBRAM 89: Possibly mentioned before, from Banned in China:

Porn stars Amber Lynn and Buck Adams kept the fact that they were brother and sister hidden from everyone. The secret only came out when the two of them were hired to perform in the same movie and were scheduled to do a scene together. They naturally refused.

Andy Waltfeld: I wouldn't exactly call it "relentless." I just do my best work at my legitimate workplace (slow business is slow).
Guesss Who: The current picture and caption for Rule of Cool: a cover pic from Soul Music and the caption 'This article brought to you by Death playing an electric guitar on top of a mountain.'
Dragon Quest Z: To The End for the picture in Wastebasket Ball.

HeartBurn Kid: OK, it's funny and all, but it's kind of a radical restructuring, and made the page completely useless. //Later: OK, didn't notice that the original page has moved to Boisterous Bruiser. In that case, yay Black Humor.

alliterator: Ahem. I was actually the one who wrote all the Dablone stuff. But that's okay, because finally having a win for both Fo RKS and SP Oo N is win enough. Also HOLY CRAP DABLONE IS COMING RUN.

Specialist290: As a new KNIVES member myself, I must heartily offer my congratulations on this compromise. (Also, one free stabbing for anyone who disagrees.)
Shadow Queen: Whoever put the caption under the picture in Demonic Possession gets a Made of Win point from me.

Loona: praise for Man Called True for the awesome comment in WTH, Casting Agency? regarding the Chun-Li movie: "He's not playing M. Bison. M. Bison is a giant military officer. He's playing Geese Howard with the name scraped off.". Considering the treatment the one SNK live-action movie we'll see is getting, this'll have to do.

In Narm/Music:

-Probably the most horrific example has to be Tim Capello's "I still believe", as seen in the movie Lost Boys. It's not even the raspy-fart saxophone playing, nor that the man himself is a mulleted, unitard-wearing wrestler-lookalike
